My neice is twenty-three and she is going on a date soon. She has had friendships with boys, but she's never actually dated. So she is champing at the bit to finally spend some time with someone she says her stomach dosn't flip over when she talks to him. Now that may sound odd. you want to have your tummy filled with butterflies. In her interpretation, she means chringing feeling. She has waited a very long time for some first experiences. and she felt comfortable enough to talk with me about it, and I am so flattered. I was letting her know that going out with someone at a time like this provides more stress than one would expect. She has to tell him to contact trace before they can meet. When they do meet, the both have to wear masks. They cannot hold hands. If you want to date during covid-19 you really cannot be cavalair about it. I think that it is a way to really seperate the serious from the joker. If they go for a walk, which may be the wisest thing to do, then they cannot really go to a restaurant to sit down, as everywhere is on a curbside system. I'd suggest a sightseeing walk. The next thinh is her mother, my sister. My sister is going to want to meet him, so it is best that she lets her meet him in the sitting room in the lobby. That way he can be comfortable and she can also feel less weird because my sister is going to grill him like a cheese sandwich. Perhaps the date should just happen in the lobby and be marked as the first one. My niece is such a sweety! She has had a remarkable life already, and she is gearing up to make the most of what she has. I love her to death! My daughter loves her too. They are so close. It is absolutely adorable when they get together. They are nine years apart, but that does not seem like a big gap with them. They share music and shows and talk about everything under the sun. As she ventures into new territory. I think that she shall take her time. But even if she doesn't. I know that she will learn a lot from the experience.
